Summary

Young Sheldon found its own identity as a family comedy-drama despite its origins as a Sheldon Cooper backstory.
Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage will continue The Big Bang Theory universe, reviving Missy's rebellious streak from Young Sheldon season 6.
Missy's redemption arc gets derailed due to The Big Bang Theory canon, forcing the spinoff to depict her in a dark storyline.

The Big Bang Theory ended in 2019, CBS continues to keep its universe alive with a couple of spinoffs. Despite eventually carving its path, it's only fair to say that its parent series played a pivotal part in Young Sheldon's success.

Originally intended to be Sheldon's origins story, Young Sheldon outgrew its premise and subsequently found its own identity as a family comedy-drama. It was criticized for its lax approach to preserving canon, but occasionally, breaking it was the only way for the prequel to thrive. Some of Sheldon's childhood stories in The Big Bang Theory were far too ridiculous to execute. In the end, however, it still opted to let continuity dictate its fate, forcing the spinoff not just to kill off George despite being a fan-favorite, but also to end Young Sheldon even though it was very popular.

Missy's rebellion arc ended in Young Sheldon season 6 when she promised George that she would behave moving forward. Unfortunately, however, her redemption arc is getting derailed because of The Big Bang Theory canon. As adult Georgie revealed to Sheldon during their emotional confrontation in the nerd-centric sitcom, he took care of the family after George unexpectedly died because Mary was overwhelmed by grief while Missy was acting like a dumb teenager. Given the timeline, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage can't feature his sister without depicting her as such. Otherwise, the spinoff will be breaking The Big Bang Theory canon.

If it weren't for this part of the established The Big Bang Theory continuity, there would be so many other fun storylines that Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage could do with Missy. Since Young Sheldon underutilized her, not much was revealed about her life outside of home. Instead, she was treated like an afterthought for most of the series, hence why she barely had any personal arc. Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage could have featured her as Cece's fun aunt or Mandy's cheerful and funny sister-in-law. Instead, Missy's storyline will have to be rather dark and serious.
